shapes of open cross section or intermittently fastened singlysymmetrical
components of built-up shapes having Q=l .O which may be
subject to torsional-flexural buckling and which are not. braced against
twisting, the average axial stress P/A shall not exceed Fal specified in 6.6.1.1

where
Fas = allowable average compression stress under concentric loading,
and
UTF(-J = elastic torsional-flexural buckling stress under concentric
loading which shall be determined as follows:
a) Singly-symmetric shapes - For members whose cross sections
have one axis of symmetry (x-axis), 0~~0 is less than
both ueX and ut and is equal to:
1

where
sex = (X $:)z
B = 1 - h!~lJ2,
A = cross-sectional area,
Y0 = Z/Y,2 + $2 -+ X02 = poiar radius of gyration of cross
section about the shear centre,
I x, rY = radii of gyration of cross section about centroidal
principal axes,
E = modulus of elasticity = 2 074 000 kgf/cm*,
G = shear modulus = 795 000 kgf/cm2,
X = effective length factor,
L = unbraced length of compression member,
x0 = distance from shear centre to centroid along the
principal x-axis,
3 = St Vcnant torsion constant of the cross section, cm4.
For thin walled sections composed of n segments of
uniform thickness,

ti T= strel thickness of the member for segment i,
11 = length of middle line of segment i, and
C, L- warping constant of torsion of the cross section.
b) Nonsymmetric shapes - Shapes whose cross sections do not
have any symmetry, either about an axis or about a point,
0~~0 shall be determined by rational analysis.
Alternatively, compression members composed of such
shapes may be tested in accordance with 9.
6.6.1.3 Singly-symmetric or nonsymmetric shapes or intermittently fastened
sing+symmetricaZ components of built-up shapes having Q< I.0 which are subject to
torsional-Jexural buckling - Compression members composed of singlysymmetric,

components of built-up shapes having Q< 1 .O which are subject
to torsional-flexural buckling and which are not braced against twisting
can be conservatively proportioned by replacing F, by QFY in 6.6.1.2 or
their strength may be determined by tests in accordance with 9. Qis
defined in 6.6.1.1.
6.6.2 Bracing and Secondary Members - On the cross section of axially
loaded bracing and secondary members*, when L/r ratio exceeds 120, the
*A secondary member is one upon which the integrity of the structure as a whole
does
not depend. For this case, X is taken as unity.

In the above formula, the maximtim stress F. shall be determined

6.6.3 Maximum SIrnderness Ratio - The slenderness ratio he L/r of compression
